I would definitely NOT use Kingsford Matchlight briquettes; they are preimpregnated with lighter fluid, and -- to my palate -- impart an unpleasant flavor to the food. Use regular Kingsford briquettes or whatever other brand you like, or use lump charcoal for less ash cleanup. (Lump charcoal doesn't use binders like briquettes do.)

if it is a dark "jet black" no, you don't need to mix, if it is slightly charcoal however, just a slight touch of white is needed to help match the colour

I use brown paper grocery bags, crumbled into tight wads or rolls. A LITTLE bit of lighter fluid on them and bam. Charcoal is ready in about 6 minutes! I used to use the conventional paraffin wax/compressed sawdust firelighters and they worked brilliantly, but you could really taste the wax on the food 8(

Their website answers a similar question thus: Q: Can I add wood chips for flavor? A: Absolutely, even though people are blown away by the results of only using Kingsford Original you can add wood chips/smoke blocks to add additional smoke. Q: Do I have to use Kingsford Briquets? A: For the best results and to have all the guess work taken out we recommend Kingsford Original Briquets (blue & white bag). We advise against using Matchlight Briquets reason being that you want the briquets to slowly burn from the top to the bottom. Q: Can I use lump charcoal or other brands of charcoal in the PBC? A: To achieve consistent and outstanding results every time we recommend using Kingsford Original (blue & white bag), lump charcoal will burn much hotter and cook times will vary.

If you don't like using chemicals get a separate chimney type charcoal starter. Otherwise these are designed for using starter fluids/fire starters.

You can use charcoal. Or anything. It works pretty nicely. Though it may smear on to another page. It won't bleed through.

You'd have to set the light/dark setting toward lighter - if you don't, the B&W will be mostly dark and you won't be able to distinguish much

You would only need the non-florescent light kit. Personally, I would recommend you consider the ProChrono by Competition Electronics. I have tried them both and the ProChrono works flawlessly. The Shooting Chrony was extremely trouble prone. I thought I had just received a bad one, so I exchanged it for another, and the second one worked no better than the first.

Yes, you can use regular/standard bulbs, CFL, or LED bulbs used in most household applications.

Yes I have added some to a wood fire Haven't used only a charcoal fire but I think it would be ok. Something I will try this spring

Yes, you just have to use a match or a lighter. However I would not purchase this range, our oven will not hold a consistent temperature, some days it is right on, the next day it is 50 degrees off. We have had repair folks out three times and they say nothing is wrong. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

You could, but this is the crappiest light ever. It does not produce much light at all. Very dissatisfied.

Yes you can use regular light bulbs but the light is not designed for them. The bulbs will have a shorter usage before they burn out and there is an additional threat of fire from overheating.

Together, but candlepower is such an obsolete measurement. Which KC would go with Lumens like everybody else. They are great lights, but I wish I would have gone with the 130W spot beams instead of the driving lights.

Mixing bulbs and ballasts is ALWAYS a bad idea. It's a fire hazard, plus it messes with your spectrum even if you do get it to work. There is no benefit, and your plants will suffer tremendously, if you don't burn the house down first. Apollo makes a 1000 watt version for a few bucks more if that's what you need.

I don't think you would be happy with this light kit as the light are the small "flame" tip lights. I wanted a regular light kit that uses regular type of light bulbs. The light from the "flame" tip bulbs are more for 'mood' than light.

Haven't tried it but from my experience I think it would work. Just open vents when you want new charcoal to light.
